My father and I had bailed on the second day right after the Spitfire flew, which meant we would skip the bombers and the P-51's (we saw them the day before. ; We had to take a bus back to our car which was on the other side of the airport. ; Little did we know that the bombers would fly their passes right pas our car which was on a hill at the end of the runway. ; It allowed me to grab these shots of the B-17 (and some of the shots of the B-25' I posted already) Scott, I think I like these much better than the ones I got last year.

What luck! ; The light on this pass is just beautiful. Forts have always been a favorite of mine, mainly because my dad was a B-17 mechanic just after the war. ; He also flew as a flight engineer on training flights out of Sebring, FL. ; He says his main job was to make sure everyone had a parachute and oxygen.
Thanks Dennis, Peter and Jeff! Very cool history about your father Dennis. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
More excellent shots! I'm hoping to see Sentimental Journey in 2 weeks. She'll be doing rides, so I going to try to get some in flight shots as she goes out. Erich
Thanks Erich! ; Good luck when you get the chance to shoot it, live to see how you do! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
